Akia sat down on the bed with Azurite, listening to him…his words were shocking to her, but she did not interrupt him…and when he finished, she sat there a little frozen…but then placed a hand on his left shoulder, “I-I’m sorry…is….is there anything I can do…to…help?” she stuttered out in a whisper…looking at him with a pained look…her other hand began to dig into the torn, tattered sheets of the bed…tears beginning to well up in her eyes, “He’s suffered so much…and…yet…and yet…I thought I had been the one…suffering…how…how selfish…” she trailed off…hot tears had begun burning down her face without her even realizing it…and when she did finally realize…she turned her face away, ashamed and desperately trying to wipe the trailing tears…but the fiery tears of passion would not stop…Akia wept…“I’m so pathetic…”

As her hand lay on Azurite's shoulder he put his right hand ontop of it saying "No you're not... if anyone is it's me... I've grown without emotion... I can't even cry for the death of my mother..."

Akia turned to him in protest, "But none of that was your fault!," she said sternly..."A-And...I'll do whatever it takes...to get you to your normal self...or who you used to be...I-I don't want you to suffer...already...too many...already too many people have suffered...I don't want you to suffer too...so...will you let me help you?" she said...looking at him...her eyes were full of hope, knowing she could do something right, just this once...and...for someone...someone...who she truely trusted and wanted to help...knowing...that this time...she will be able to do something...and not stand back helplessly...watching the others suffer and die before her...and before Akia realized it...she had Azurite's right hand cupped in hers...as if she was making him shake on some kind of promise...Akia blushed..."I'm sorry...I-I just want to help..." she said...looking down at her feet...."'Cause...you...see...I've...I've lost my whole family...and...and I couldn't do anything to help them...I-I watched them die...by the hands of bandits...right...right infront of me...and...I couldn't do anything...I-I just ran...and ran..." she spoke out coldy...her eyes seemed to be remembering past nightmares and horrors...they were almost glazed over...like eyes glazed over from starring at a fire for endless hours...
"I-I just don't want it to happen again...never...ever...again...do I want to see...someone die...or suffer...infront of me...and not being able to help them...and stand there idily by...watching them suffer to death....or die some horrible, gruesome....death....without...doing anything to help them..." she ended...still looking at the ground...the dust in the room...reminded her of the endless ashes...that she had seen....that fateful day...

Azurite listened to every word and knew that he couldn't be normal again after experiencing the thing he went through. He never had a chance to feel his emotions that were long gone and said "You can help me if you think there's a way for me to become human again... but I truely believe that it's hopeless... but... if I do become human again before I..." he stopped right there knowing if he told her it would be useless so he said "Nevermind... you can try to help me but I want to help you get those bandits..."

((Bleh. Forgot how and when and if I got Galacia to Midgar. We'll just assume I did))
A calming tune began outside. Outside, there was a man, covered in fur from head to toe, wearing black trousers, and a black, hoodless cloak, with a sapphire scabbard holding a rapier at his side. The man, Galacia Archford, was dancing to the tune of his flute's song. After a time, a rather large man, tired of hearing the song, drew his blade and lunged for Galacia. Galacia twisted around the swing, jumped, and kicked the large man away, sending him sprawling. The man lunged again, swinging low. Galacia jumped over the blade, his hands flipping the flute up, and into his pocket, somehow not stopping the tune. Drawing his rapier with a flourish, he backfliped away from man, before lunging with a fierce jab into the man's leg. The man howled in pain, before struggling to his feet and limping away. Galacia bowed, the music finally stopping, as people threw small change to his feet.

Zaxoth Arturos Sephriea Noir Elena shugged off the lady, turning her attention back to the stranger. "Well...I think i'm already to late. I was called to check..something. Job calls.." Pauseing, she thought about her next words. Curiousity lurked. "Who are you? I don't recall seeing you around before..." It was true. Elena got around, practicly knew who lived in what city, and where. But this man was a complete stranger to her eyes. "You haven't." He shrugged. "And if you are following the big pipe, don't bother. There's nothing that way, other than swamp, mountains, and a farm of some sort." He turned around and continued the way he had been going, smirking to himself as he listened for any sort of response to what he'd said.
Elena turned to take a quick glance at the pipe that was mentioned. At least, what was once a pipe. She had never actually really noticed it before, which was...rather sad. If she had, they may of gotten to the point of where she had to go in time.Turning back to him, Elena reponded.. "Nothing going on around there? " She was really starting to doubt if she should continue on the way, or listen and go back to Midgar. Regardless, her job was important, and she did not want to get fired for not at least checking. "I was called to check the area out......but, hey! You never answerd my question. Do you have a name, at least?"

Akia sighed "There's no way to find those bandits...I was so young...and it was so many years ago.." she replied back sadly...She then looked up.."Whe should head back to the hotel, maybe we will find the Mistress...it's daylight now..." she laughed with a sigh as she gazed out a cracked window...noticing the light of the sun reaching the window pane...

Azurite lightly took his hand off of hers as his arm dropped back to his side and said "Alright, but if we don't find her would you like to show me some spells that you learned... we can train outside of Midgar if you like." then stood up ready to leave while he waited for her.

Shrugging, he answered, "Suit yourself, but I'm telling you that there's nothing there. At the end of the pipe, you'll find a ring of cooled lava, and that's it. Yes, I have a name." Pausing, he glanced over his shoulder toward her. "However...I do have a feeling that you will know it soon enough, so perhaps introductions can be delayed until then?" Smirking, he continued on toward Midgar, half-expecting her to hound him for a name, half-expecting her to want to do her job.

The door opened and Galacia stepped in, looking directly at Akia. "Did somebody mention bandits?"
-----
A dark portal opened near Elena, and out flew a young woman with misty black skin, and crimson hair. She wore goggles over her crimson eyes, and a cape, over top a loose grey t-shirt, and sleek black pants. Coughing, she yelled into the portal, "Oh c'mon! It wasn't that bad!" A voice yelled through the portal, "Yes it was!" and the portal closed. Wiping soot off her goggles, the girl looked around. "Oh, hello." She said, looking in Elena's direction.

Akia nodded and was about to head out of the room with Azurite, but suddenly stopped in her tracks almost falling back into Azurite, "W-Who are you?" she said to the man in fur...who suddenly spoke out, startling her...

"I am Galacia Archford, the rogue bard." He said as he bowed. "Who, if I may ask, are you?"

At the sound of words behind him, but not in the voice of either of the two from the vehicle, Zaxoth shot a quick glance over his shoulder to survey the new arrival, pausing his steps for just a moment.

Left arm starts to glow and pain shoots through his body. Zeke Falls down in pain from the arm. He tries to get up but the pain keeps on getting worse. Zeke realizes that the man who killed his parents is there somewhere.
" Zack you need to leave now. Just leave before it is too late," Zeke said with pain.
